Cape Tomyozaki

"This cape is located a 10-minute walk from a bus stop on a line leaving from JR Taiji Station and is situated on the eastern tip of Taiji Town. Originally called Murozaki and then later Taijizaki, it eventually came to be called its current name, which literally translates to ""Cape Votive Light,"" after a lighthouse was built on it to station samurai warriors. Historic sites in the area include the reconstructed lighthouse, Yamamidai whaling office, and the site of a facility once used to prepare whale carcasses. There is also a hiking trail which connects to Kajitorizaki Cape. From the cape, visitors can take in a sweeping view of the Kumano Sea and also visit the nearby Taiji Fishing Port, Taiji Whale Museum, and Kujirahama Beach."
